This weekend was gay and sunny!
I rose up with a zing and quickly did my groceries...if you dont do ur groceries on Saturdays, trust me, passing your week becomes difficult in paris... had lunch...and planned out my day (which metro, what time, which place, how to go etc...)
I made my way to Hotel de Ville to catch the 'fete de nouvelle annee chinois'.
There were dragons and femmes fatale..( will upload pics soon )
drums and cymbals....
and lots of happy faces...and the sun shining at its winter best...!
I had to climb over the fountain to perch myself comfortably to get a view of what was passing on...
Then after the party departed, I transported myself to Porte de Versailles to catch up on 'Expo Langues'...I was shy and timid to approach stalls coz the folks were speaking rapid french and I didnt wanna sound like a retard trying to speak french....but still a nice young girl approached me as I unsucessfully avoided her...then i noticed that she was from a spanish stall...
I smiled and told her...mon ami voudras apprendre francais...! And then she started explaining...and finally gave me an L sized Red Tee Shirt when i said bye to her...!
I sat at an conference where they were discussing a spanish learning software...it was fun!
After i made 3 full rounds of the exhibition, I was tired and so i found my way back home to dump all the pamphlets i had collected at the exhibition. And since the sun was still a little bit around, i went out shopping....again...only Saturdays are available for me to do some shopping...
After which i came home tired and beaten...and went to sleep....spent! It was heaven on earth.
Sunday was spent in almost equal frenzy....went to Krishna Bhavan to give weekly attendance...ate somethin called as Ceylon dosa...it was a yellowish dosa...was okish!
and then in the evening went to Cite Universitaire for Saraswathi pooja celebrations...
It was nice to be amongst students after a looong time...i started to wonder if I had begun to show symptoms of growing old!!! Though i didnt have any buddy body around which might have added to the fun, it was good nevertheless....
